You can't dismiss 46% of the delegates at the DNC. Hell, you can't afford to dismiss even half that amount.

That leaves 20% and not all of them are hard core to this extent.

"Mr. Trump" has deep pockets. Wouldn't be surprised if he has gotten to all the screaming delegates.

until the primary vote count made it clear that he could not get the nomination. I laid low for a few weeks, and about a week ago decided it was time to come out enthusiastically for Hillary. I just waited until Bernie indicated his fight was over. I owed him that much.

These Bernie Bros and such never were Democrats. Half of them are probably paid RW operatives.
